Hurentour – The Original - Experience the History of Prostitution Live and Excitingly

Description

The Hurentour – The Original offers a unique insight into the history and present of prostitution – right in the heart of Hamburg's notorious red-light district around the Reeperbahn. Fact-based, serious, and full of surprising details, this tour guides you through St. Pauli, the most famous district of the Hanseatic city, shedding light on a world often kept in the shadows. With an experienced guide, you explore the streets and squares that shape the red-light scene, learning exciting stories, historical facts, and surprising anecdotes. This tour highlights the development of sex work – from the temples of ancient Babylon to today's organization of brothels on St. Pauli. It goes beyond clichés and offers insights into the social, cultural,, and economic aspects of sex work. You will learn not only why some women (and men) choose this profession but also what taboos, rules, and challenges still shape the industry today. Out of respect for residents and the privacy of prostitutes, the tour does not go through Herbertstraße but examines the street from a historical and cultural perspective. Important: Our guides do not wear historical costumes. You can recognize them by the red vests with the inscription "Historische Hurentour." Did you know that...
